General comments:
A two-storey unit without direct sunlight made it easier to keep the unit cool. Internet connection was stable and fast for SE Asia. Television hosted a number of English-language American and Canadian channels. Access to laundry facilities on the rooftop was very convenient and much appreciated.

Electricity:
We stayed at John's for six weeks, with the exception of a four-day period when we traveled outside the country. Our electricity bill was 4,170 Baht for that entire period. It should be mentioned, however, that we spent a lot of time in the apartment. We prepared meals, used the air-conditioning, and had lighting and television on much of the time. So, it should be expected that our electricity consumption was likely much higher than the average vacationers' usage. It should also be mentioned that John advertises that for clients staying less than 30 days, there is no surcharge for electricity usage. For those staying more than thirty days, which was our case, there is a charge. Regardless, prices are very reasonable.

Location and getting around:
With the exception of our final two weeks when the temperatures were much too hot and humid, we largely traveled by foot to most destinations and easily reached Sathorn Road, Silom Road, and Sukhumvit Road (Central World Plaza). Otherwise, there are many taxis driving through the neighbourhood and we never had difficulty finding one. Prices are very reasonable relative to North American standards. With respect to taxis, however, it should be mentioned that during peak rush-hour traffic times (3:00 pm – 6:30 pm), it might be difficult to find a willing driver. In some instances, we remained stuck in traffic and covering very little distance. This is not an issue specific to John's place, however, but a general comment for whomever is traveling just about anywhere in Bangkok.

Customer Service:
During an extended stay such as ours, it is to be expected that an issue or two should arise. For example, we weren't scheduled to arrive at John's until days later but needed a place to store some of our luggage. John kindly allowed us to leave our luggage at the B&B's office. There was also another issue directly related to the apartment and we dealt with John's contact, a Thai man by the name of Bon. Bon was quick to respond, friendly, and professional. We were very appreciative of his assistance.

Recommendation:
We would recommend John's place to family and friends traveling to Bangkok and would also consider staying there again should we return to the city in the future.

Thanks John!
